Here are the countries that have been added to the new dashboard for which I do not yet have categories and am asking for volunteers:

Argentina

Brazil

Malaysia

Bulgaria

United Arab Emirates

Korea

If you would like your 15 seconds of fame and a link and live in one of the above countries here are the instructions to gather the categories from the new dashboard (obviously I wold appreciate it if you sent them along):

1)Go into the new Places for business Dashboard (if your regular email doesn’t have it, use a new Google account, claim any old business and you can do this, then delete the business from your dashboard)
2)View the page for editing and Edit Category page
3)In Chrome (or other browser) Edit/Developer/View Source
4)Find the code that starts the gcid: table. It looks like:[[[“gcid:abbey”,”Abbey”,”en”] ,[“gcid:abortion_clinic”,”Abortion Clinic”,”en”] ,[“gcid:abrasives_supplier”,”Abrasives Supplier”,”en”] ,[“gcid:abundant_life_church”,”Abundant Life Church”,”en”]
etc, etc etc
5)Copy all of them and send them along as TXT to mike@blumenthals.com with your name and business URL

Here are the screen shots of what you should see in Chrome:
